Who buys the data and what is it used for?

they want to see what programs crash on people so they know what to focus resources on, nefarious!

Machine learning for Google to enhance products and services. Pure evil obviously.

Such a fuckin hooplah just to make some shitty products no one uses marginally better?
Surely you jest

Depends entirely on who's do8ng the collecting.

Mark my words though, the second Google has a major security breach, we're talking data and meta data of every user stolen is the day that this all ends.

evil AI: oh, so these are the most common genetic weaknesses of 80% of the population. Interesting.

They dont have the power to decrypt any of the data yes that is being sent by other countries or terrorists. within a generation or two though they will be able to. I am guessing they are storing it all so they can check up on it once they can crack AES \ SHA256 etc...

Right so what does microsoft do with all the data?

>product no one uses
>Google

Lmao

It's for future historians and sociologists you selfish, narcissistic prick

marketers are so far up their own ass they think the marketing actually works, so they'll sell the data to other marketers who will interprit into a new marketing strategy.

even with this formula for alchemical gold, they will still fail to do much with any new marketing because everything marketers touch turns to pure shit

Yeah man I'm sure you know much more than these company's market researchers...

Look for child porn.

Put all the massive amounts of data they have about you and your internet activities, etc. into Apache Hadoop, play a bit with it cleverly looking for links in it and I can guarantee you that they will know more about you than yourself.

by how long you hover your mouse over the start button they know what cerial ads to show you
true story

TARGETED ADS

Data mining, machine learning, and statistics are all fairly young in how they are used in the Internet age. I fear that the real nefarious shit will be the algorithms and computing power they have 20 years from now, to analyze data they collect *today*.

t. statistician

Fucking why tho?
Ads don't even work

if ads didnt work then there wouldnt be ads

it doesn't so much matter whether they work as whether brands think they work (and are therefore willing to pay for them)

Do you honestly believe that?

Sure. All your possible personal data that can be mined will only be used to send you a couple of targeted ads.

So pajeet can see when you're fucking your girlfriend on the couch
